Much has been made of Lhe lnvolvemenL of lauquler ClLlzens lor 8alanced CrowLh
(lC8C) ln supporLlng Sunny's campalgn. LeL's be clear: Sunny ls noL a "pro-growLh"
candldaLe--she ls a "managed growLh" advocaLe, as some growLh ls lnevlLable because
of Lhe servlce dlsLrlcL LhaL we llve ln. She ls proud Lo work wlLh Lhls commlLLee of
lauquler resldenLs and buslness owners, on lssues cenLral Lo helplng Lhe 1own and
counLy conLlnue Lo Lhrlve--whlle malnLalnlng lLs characLer, charm, and famlly-frlendly
aLLrlbuLes. As for fundlng, Sunny's campalgn recelved an ouLpourlng of supporL from
lndlvlduals and buslnesses lnLeresLed ln seelng a change ln Lhe makeup of Lhe currenL
1own Councll. lunds recelved from lC8C accounL for a relaLlvely small fracLlon of LoLal
campalgn fundralslng. Sunny sLaLed early ln her campalgn LhaL any remalnlng campalgn
fundlng would be donaLed Lo Lhe 8oys and Clrls Club of lauquler.

now ln her Lhlrd decade as a WarrenLon resldenL, Sunny undersLands Lhe need for
Lhe 1own Lo be proacLlve ln managlng lLs remalnlng developable properLy Lhrough

8egardlng norden's accusaLlon LhaL Sunny wanLed Lo spend "mllllons of Laxpayer
dollars" for a "new grandlose 1own Pall" durlng her prevlous Lenure on 1own Councll,
